I know you said #74 on autolumination.com but the only #74 i found was to get bulbs...

I've read almost every single HVAC and cluster change of bulbs but i still have yet to be able to find the exact bulbs that people are talking about. I think i know the process of installing them, but I just need to find those leds! I don't mind if you tell me that it's completely obvious and that they were right under my nose the whole time... i'll be the first to say "ahhh... duh, i'm retarded", but until then i still want to find them.. lol

Thanks, i did actually see that... it just said "bulbs"... so i was unsure if those were the first "blue bulbs" you posted or the second (better looking) picture of "blue leds"

Were those #74 the same that you used for the hvac? i found this on another post:

According to the other posts I've seen it looks like if you're doing bulbs you'll need:
8 (+/- 2) size 74 bulbs for the Instrument Panel
1 (+/-1) size 74 bulbs for the Keyring
2 (+/-2) size 194 bulbs for the HVAC

Does that seem like the right amount/kind of bulbs? I think you said you only needed 5 for the instrument panel. I'm just planning on ordering some bulbs, but i'd like to try to get them all at once, no sense in spending a ton in shipping for leds

depending on which year your car is... 02 and 03 clusters are the same so they should need the same amount

those 5 are for the speedo, rpm, fuel, and temp... the other lights suchs as turn signal and the tripmeter are extras... its always a good idea to buy spare

of course the problem with leaving it plugged in is that you have to work around the steering wheel, which becomes a problem when you want to find out exactly which blub lights exact portion of the gauge cluster
